Next time you visit the St. Johns County Main Library, you can pick up more than just books and movies. The library is also now a seed library, where anyone can pick up the makings of their garden. Library manager Nicole Jebbia says the new seed library “not only encourages sustainable practices but also brings people together.” The selection will rotate seasonally to reflect what’s best to plant. And library patrons are encouraged to donate their extras to keep the seed library well-stocked.
